One of Napa Countyâs prized stone bridges with extensive damage will be spared the wrecking ball, while another â one long ago altered beyond recognition â will be torn down to help fish.
The county will remain a California hot spot for 1900s-era masonry arch bridges with about two dozen on public roads. More than a century ago, wine country was known as âThe County of Stone Bridges.â
Now comes this latest tale of two bridges.
For the Greenwood Avenue bridge over Garnett Creek near Calistoga, the story is one of impending rebirth. This 1904 bridge with a single, 32-foot-long span is on the National Register of Historic Places.
